A Namibian update: ABC video link

Just an update (or maybe just something to make me homesick) to our previous adventures in Namibia. While I was working there, I interacted quite often with the World Wildlife Fund-Namibia office, as I gathered information on conservation efforts in communal conservancies. There is a great video produced by ABC, which was shot while our family was in Namibia. It features the work that WWF is doing on communal conservancies. Good to see it on the air! Chris Weaver, interviewed on the film, was quite gracious to me when I needed information. He runs a great organization.

Responsibility defined

"Above all we should, in the century since Darwin, have come to know that [we], while captain of the adventuring ship, [are] hardly the sole object of its quest, and that [our] prior assumptions to this effect arose from the simple necessity of whistling in the dark."

--A. Leopold, “On a Monument to the Pigeon” in A Sand County Almanac, and Sketches Here and There (pp. 109-110).

About Me

I am a Professor of Conservation Biology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I find myself in the role of teacher, research biologist, photographer, hunter, canoeist, poet, and bee keeper. My wife and son are both better photographers. I've written over 90 scientific publications, but I most enjoyed publishing two books of poetry: "Dust and Mud" and "Cursed with Wings."
